What it does

While a player trades with a villager, the mod automatically displays the enchantment name above each enchanted book or enchanted item on offer, and it cycles through the offers in sequence. The display can be switched on and off in the trading screen or in any other open screen with a hotkey. Some features are listed as supported from version 1.21 onward, and later updates are planned for the rest.

The mod is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it and a server does not. It requires Cloth Config API on every loader, while Mod Menu is optional and adds a menu entry for the settings screen. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 20 release versions, 1.16.5 – 1.21.1, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

  1. Enchantment name labels

    Enchanted books and enchanted items in a villager's offers get their enchantment name shown above them.

  2. Trade lookup from the crosshair

    Aim at a tradable villager within normal trading range and the mod attempts to fetch its offers.

  3. Automatic offer retrieval

    An option makes the mod always try to obtain nearby offers, so enchanting trades show up without manual steps.

  4. Settings and cache control

    Players can open the settings screen, save and load the configuration file, clear the cached trade information, or disable the display features.

Use cases

Checking enchanted trades

A player comparing librarian offers can read each enchantment name without opening every item.

Quick toggling during play

The hotkey hides the labels on a busy trade screen or shows them again in any other open screen.

Who it’s for: Players who trade with villagers often and want enchantment names visible during a trade. The mod suits single-player worlds and multiplayer clients alike, because only the client runs it.
